Beach clean-up by Eyjafjörður

Beach clean-up by Eyjafjörður

Allir velkomnir að taka þátt í strandhreinsun við fjörðinn á sunnudögum kl 18.00
Every day, tons of debris wash ashore coastal areas around the world and it’s a simple way for communities to contribute to the ocean welfare. This year, we are taking another step into our environmental efforts by partnering with Ocean Missions | Mission Blue | Akureyri Municipality| Elding Whale Watching | Whale safari & Elding Research
 
We invite everyone to join us on weekly beach cleanups in Eyjafjordur. The concept of cleaning local beaches for environmental benefit and research data collection in north of Iceland has been pioneered by the Ocean Missions NGO (Húsavík). By combining our efforts, with joined forces we believe we can make a real difference and we want to enlarge this initiative further in Eyjafjordur.
 
Starting of 9th of June 2024, with the support of local organizations & companies we would like to organize regular beach cleanups in our area every Sunday in the upcoming weeks: 9.06 | 16.06 | 23.06 | 30.06 | 7.07
 
Together, we can make a significant impact on our coastal environment.

We will drive from there to the destined location. Our team is currently scanning the local coastal areas to decide which beach to approach first - we will update the final location in the next days. The meeting point will always be in Akureyri. Each event takes usually around 2-3h and partners involved in organisation will provide snacks & drinks. We can help to arrange transportation if needed as long as we are notified of that need in advance - please let us know via message or email. If you have any additional questions - feel free to contact us directly.
